“Baakio ko bhi kuch…,” Praveen Kumar on Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli’s rare flop show in Chennai

“Baakio ko bhi kuch…,” Praveen Kumar on Rohit Sharma & Virat Kohli’s rare flop show in Chennai

Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli scored a combined total of 34 runs in the entire Chennai Test match against Bangladesh.

India returned to the field after more than a month’s break and continued their tradition of dominating at home. Led by Ravichandran Ashwin’s impeccable all-round show, Team India recorded a huge 280-run in the opening Test against Bangladesh. However, this win came despite some underperformance of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. The two pillars of Indian cricket scored a combined total of 34 runs.

EXCLUSIVE: Praveen Kumar on Rohit-Kohli

Zaroori thodi hai ki Virat Kohli aur Rohit Sharma hi saari zimmedari leli desh ki, ki wohi run banayenge aur match jitayenge. Hojata hai ek-do match me aisa. Hum Log unhi ko pakad rahe hai, aur bhi toh players hai. India ka team combination bohot acha hai aur ek jut hokar khel rahe hai. Parivar jese khel rahe hai. (It is not necessary that both Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have to share the burden of this nation, or to make runs and win India all the matches. It (poor scores) happens in one or two games. Why are we focusing on them only? There are other players as well. The team combination of the Indian team is great and all are playing as one unit. It is more like a family.),” said Praveen Kumar, exclusively to Insidesport.

Well, there’s nothing wrong with what Praveen said about Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. Yes, they did miss out on run-making in the Chennai Test but we have to cut some slack on the two players, who are undoubtedly two of the best. No player can make runs in all the games. Moreover, Rohit was undone when the new ball was moving rapidly, while Kohli incidentally gave himself out in the third innings of the match.
